We hear about the freakouts, the verbal lashings, the accidents and many more.
But what are some small things, things that have little consequence but are still infuriating or that drive you up the wall?
Here are some examples of my own:
- People flocking to the metro doors without leaving proper space for people to leave.
- Hearing the same 3 questions at work every time.
- People walking slow enough to pass but not letting you.
For some reason it bothers me greatly when people talk about the number 2 being special because “it’s the only even prime number”. Like of course, that’s literally how they are defined. It’s like saying “did you know 3 is the only prime number divisible by 3?”
People who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle and then walk away. People who leave their shopping carts in random spots in the parking lot. People that drive 20 under the speed limit in the left lane
Soap or shampoo that smell like (and better than) food. Why??
may i introduce you to
People who act like they are blind to others in the supermarket. Not making space for others, blocking us with their trolley etc. It’s not a museum.
Office Politics
People speaking on their phone using a loudspeaker.
People who don’t understand basic elevator etiquette and attempt to walk in before people get off.
People who play Karaoke loud enough for anyone outside of their home to hear.
People who drive two motorbikes / bicycles beside each other and talk, thereby blocking traffic.
People who cut in line.
People who don’t clean up after their pets.
People who get angry at the animals and not the owners for the above.
People who display a total ignorance of the most basic facts regarding other countries.
Dysfunctionally incompetent and/or lazy staff (beyond what is acceptable for low income workers).
Bureaucrats who clearly prioritise covering their ass over performing the most basic functions of their job.
People who are rude/dismissive to others who are smaller/weaker/meeker than them.
Racist taxi drivers.
Asshole bus drivers.
People who don’t apologise when they are wrong and know it.
I can think of more but I’ll stop there.
Neighbors running their leaf blowers for hours and super early or late in the day
People who don’t return their cart to the cart corral in the grocery store parking lot
My family refusing to lower the tv volume and then blaming me staying up at night because of said volume on my phone
Saying “orientated” rather than “oriented”. There’s no need for that extra “ta” in the middle, it’s a useless syllable.
Fucktards voting for fascists.
That doesn’t sound very small to me good sir
People who think freedom of speech also means freedom from consequences.
Bigots being criticized is proof the system is working.
Cars going into the pedestrian crossing area at red lights
Shifting a manual transmission incorrectly
Uber/Dash drivers parking wherever suits them, blocking lanes. Inconsiderate pricks!
Then I get annoyed at the companies forcing them to meet unrealistic expectations or they stop getting jobs.
Then I get annoyed at myself for getting annoyed at the poor bastards busting their asses to make a living in a system that treats them as entirely replaceable.
